I've been uncharacteristically busy the past few weeks so have got next to nothing done recently, but with my hasslefree stuff and ironhalo bases arriving, i did manage to get them glued together, and found a break in the constant raining to get them sprayed.

with a trip to dublin last weekend I didnt have a chance to paint anything, but took the opportunity last night to finish up one model I've been itching to do.

I Just couldn't wait to paint up a hazmat guy, so with my little bit of spare time I quickly got this guy painted almost as a tester.

choosing the colour scheme was difficult, as I was unsure of white, yellow or black suits (black is always the baddy goons in zombie movies, yellow is the classic movie hazmats, but white is the realistic one)

so I went with white, almost as a challenge to myself to paint a nice looking white character (which Ray's white business shirt was also a pre-cursor to)

I went for the orange gloves and kneepads to bring some colour to them, and a gold visor to cement the "facelessness" of the goons.

you can even see I've managed to add the pointer on the oxygen gauge

hopefully I shall get much more done this weekend, as I am now skint from dublin.
